10 Movie Endings You Can No Longer See

It’s rare that alternate endings are shot with the intention of never using them but that’s exactly the case with the return to the world of Ghostface. The 2022 Scream film brought back a series of actors from the series’ heyday of the 1990s including Sidney (Neve Campbell), Gale (Courtney Cox) and Dewey (David Arquette) to fight against the return of slasher Ghostface and not all of them make it out alive.

Sacrificing himself for Tara, one of the new kids on the block for the franchise, Dewey is stabbed to death. Apparently this was a hot topic between the film crew and the studio. During production, directing duo Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin were asked to shoot an alternate fate for the character. As such, they decided to make it unusable.

The scene shown to the studio will likely never see the light of day. Not just because it doesn’t serve the story but it’s apparently intentionally rubbish. It consists of a badly framed over the shoulder shot of some doctor’s legs, with the pair offering to the studio that this is where they could put a voice over to say that Dewey had surgery and survived.

An sneaky alternate ending made out of spite and to make sure that their original vision for the story stayed intact.
